Red 5 Adds Former BioWare and 38 Studios Devs to Firefall Team

Red 5 has reportedly doubled the size of its team for Firefall, filling spots with former BioWare and 38 Studios devs.

Firefalls big crunch time for the summer update has brought some good fortune to a few people that needed it. PC Gamer recently learned that Red 5 has recruited dozens of displaced BioWare and 38 Studios devs, doubling the size of the design team.

About 80 percent or 90 percent of the people weve added in the past few months have been from 38 and Bioware. Two months ago we had a staff of 60, and now were at just over 100, lead class designer Dave Williams told PC Gamer at gamescom.

Williams explained that Red 5 spent almost a month recruiting, and managed to pick up some great MMO developer talent from the two studios. So while layoffs are never a good thing, the timing in this case seems to have worked out great for Red 5.
